Bar Exam Prep!!!
It's 2:30am... I've been studying non-stop since 10:30pm... before that I had class for 3 hours and before that I studied for about 5 hours... That seems to be the trend lately... Sleep... wake up, 30 minutes watching a bit of tv and checking email... then study for 5 hours, shower, class, home - tv for 30 more minutes, and then study for like 4 more hours.... then it starts all over.... I'm not just trying to be dramatic when I say that studying for the bar exam is probably THE hardest thing I've ever done... and it's not so much the quantity of stuff that you have to know (although trust me, It's unbelievable), but it's the fact that the questions they ask are meant to trick you and make you answer incorrectly- it's sooo aggravating! So, yeah, I've felt like a nervous breakdown was on the horizon more than once and aggravated almost everyone around me at least once a day - I hate that I don't have time to do anything I want to do, spend time with Rodney more, spend time with friends more, and enjoy the summer (especially since it's my favorite time of the year). I just hope in the end that I pass and it was all worth it.
I have less than 3 weeks before the exam and after that I will want to Thank everyone for putting up with me, but here are some shout-outs in the meantime:
To Rodney - Thanks soooo much for putting up with me during this time. Even though we've fought, I've gotten on your nerves and been a complete bitch (yes, i know i am), and even injured you more than once..... Thanks for being there... bring me snacks and coffee while I'm studying, letting me know when I'm getting insane, and making me take 2 minute breaks here and there.... It means a lot that you've actually put up with me and accept how important and difficult this is - I love you! <3
To the Game Night Crew - Thanks for taking my mind of everything for one night a week - Thanks for being completely crazy and hilarious while we play 80's yardsale games, eat more pepperoni rolls than imaginable, and try to sculpt impossible objects out of a handful of clay.
To Ron-McJizzle - Thanks for always being hilarious and fun.... Thanks for the random instant messages that take my mind off of studying and inevitably make me crack up and thanks for the awesome Smash Bros. competition.
To Josh Byrd - Thanks for being soooo positive about everything- Thanks for talking to me and being positive about how I'm going to do on this test when I am totally freaking out about not being able to remember anything else. And oh yeah, thanks for letting me check out movies and books! (I'm sorry The Sweetest Thing is late.... can you please waive the late fee?)
Thanks to everyone else who has been there in anyway and to anyone who has contributed to the fact that I haven't lost my mind yet... (at least not completely)! I know this is a weird post, but I'm randomly sentimental and emotional these days....
Josh
